Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi gave a discourse on the hardships endured by saints and the function of a beacon:

The birth of a saint must pass through hardships, just as did Shakyamuni Buddha in the East and Jesus in the West. Without experiencing hardships, one cannot become a saint nor attain true Achievement.

After attaining sainthood, one may still face persecution from evil forces. Yet, Holy Mountain Buddha Land serves as a beacon of light for them, shining upon the people in the darkness. It guides them to find the right direction, the path to walk, and the vessel to journey on, while instilling confidence to fulfill their present life. For those with the certain root capacity and affinity, the beacon offers the opportunity to attain Achievement within this very lifetime.
